BUSINESS IN HOME AFFAIRS
It is all right to sympathize with Ireland
in Canada, but our Co., ernment must first
look to it's own people. The American
people at large want q President who is an
American above all things. John Sherman
ia such a man. He does not run after false
gods, and he has the confidence OF the bust
ness men and the industrial classes. Mill
ions Of sturdy, honest voters, voters who
we're born on foreign soil, but who love
this republic, would vote for him because
they see the wisdom OF his craftsmanship.
I think too that Mr.. Sherman will be cleo.

the winner, Geaanium. q f~our-year-old Bel

MINING BUREAU.

The Philadelphia Mail, in a very sensible

have a mining bureau and a Territorial
geologist. In the course of it's argument il
says:
ut is hardly possible to overestimate
the value which the reports Of such a bu-
reau and such an Office would have in Civ.
ing to outside investors authentic and re-
liable statistics and information concern.
ing the first industry of a great expanse OF
territory. The boom which the southern
coast and gulf states is now enjoying ia
largely due to the accurate Information,
bearing the governmental stamp of authen-
ITCHY, which reports of such bureaus fur
nlsh to outside capital, and it is unreas-
enable to suppose that the work OF such a
body has not more weight than any other
one factor in discovering, classifying and
valuing the different fields of mining in
which investment may be safely made.
Our need OF such an institution is more
pressing because, OF the large number of
geological surveys made by the national
Government, Montana has had far less
than her share, hardly any indeed,
and the reason that Colorado, of no older
settlement than Montana, is is to-day a
State with two or three times Montana's
population, though with $4,000 square
miles less area, is because of the numerous
State and governmental geological surveys
which nave been made within her borders.
n OF which the reports made by the high
est skill attainable, have gone forth to the
outside world as unbiased and reliable. If
we can afford to have Territorial Veteri-
nary Surgeons and Stock Inspectors whose
outy is to report the number oil cattle
which annually starve and freeze to death
our hills of almost solid gold and silver,
we can certainly afford a mining bureau"
The Mail is quite right in it's ASSERT N
that Montana has had far less than her
share of geological surveys. The value OF
these surveys are not overestimated by
+ Philipsburg contemporary, but if
the Territory must wait for. the slow
action Of the Government to receive bene.
fits from them we fear that the present
generation OF men will not be profted
much. Outside of the National Park and

by the Government to give the world re-
data concerning the %unbounded min.

believe the time is neal at hand |
when the State OF Montana will attend to
his matter if the general Government will

more respect from the authorities at Wash.

Jack Lawrence and Frank Howell o.
Portland. Oregon, had a set-to at the
Comique last night, at which great things
were promised. The gate receipts were
only nominal and in order to get the men
to 60 on a collection was made which
yielded $13.O5. twas announced to be
a six.round contest, Marquis OF Queens
berry rules. Jack Mcdonald seconded
Lawrence and Scotty did che same by
Howell. In the first round Lawrence
made short work OF his opponent and
showed the latter no more fit to stand
before him than a baby. He was given the
fight and then gave an exhibition, knock
outs barred, that lasted fifteen or twenty
minutes. 1t was the weakest pugilistic
exhibition that has appeared here for a
good while, the men being absurdly I'm.
evenly matched.

President Cleveland, being out of the
reach OF the army of Washington reporters
and the larger army of importunate Office
seekers, can fish to his hearts content.
He has gone where there are no political
fences to mend; and hence, Blaine and
Sherman are not compelled to watch his
goings and comings. In fact, the President
is resting and re~cuperating for the duties
before him. Only this and nothing more.

scenes. To-day a fight occurred. The DO

Sheriff in command was seized with
epilepsy. A truce was had a, once and
used by the people to strengthen their de-
lenses. The persons to be evicted are all
barr1caded in their homes and have plenty
OF friends along assisting to resist the po-

The Railroad Investigation.

B~osroN, May 27.-The Union Pacific in
vestigation was resumed to-day. Elisha
Atkins, a director of the Union Pa. ifc,
had voted for consolidation. There is a
very large business done by branch lines
and they are necessary to the interest of
the road. I'VE ought to have 1000 miles
more than We have"
The witness was of the opinion the Union
Pacific had a promising future before it.
WITNESSES idea was the Government should
treat this company in the same way az
merchants treat each other. The Govern.
ment should give an extension of one hun
dred years 1T three per cent. Our
Territory ought to he secured to US. As it
is at present, we are being cut to pieces by
the encroachments Of wealthy rivals. II
the Government should give us this 100
years extension the only security we could
give is a second mortgage on the main
branch or a first mortgage on 100 miles of
branch roads.
The remainder of the afternoon was de-
voted to the examination of Comptroller
Minks' accounts. 1t is thought several
days will be thus spent.

English capital is rapidly finding it's way
in Mexico, the ~favorite investment being
in banking institutions. When Congress
realizes the fact that it's foolish law of last
winter prohibiting the investment OF for
eign capital in mining properties in the
United States, is diverting large sums of
money from the country and crippling the
development OF our great mineral resources
it will doubtless amend the law in that re-
spect. That law needs revision.
